If you thought things were a little crowded on Alpha Centauri before, it's about to get even worse. The original inhabitants are back, and they want their land -- and guess who's in the way? Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire is more than just a simple add-on pack. It features a ton of new gadgets and options, including seven new playable factions, new technologies, and secret projects. You'll have a chance to peek at two of the factions in the demo: the Manifold Caretakers, an alien race, and the Nautilus Pirates, a group that has mastered the planet's oceans.

Make sure to check out the official Alien Crossfire website for more details about the game, including information about some of the more interesting factions you'll be able to control in the final version.

Alpha Centauri is a turn-based game of exploration, discovery, empire-building and conquest, set on an alien planet in the early 22nd century. Experience the future of history in the 22nd century as you chart the fate of humanity on a mysterious alien world.
